----I will try to post all the results from the show last night in Millington sometime today. I did have the chance to spend about 30 minutes interviewing Jerry Lawler tonight talking over the whole Sal Corrente situation. Lawler said this was all a big joke, but he felt it was good for business. It has been all over the news and everyone is talking about him and Memphis Wrestling. He thinks there will be an increase in the gate at the next Sam’s Town. He feels the case will not go any further than this first court appearance. He said the video that is shown on the http://www.myeyewitnessnew.com/ is the ONLY time he hit Sal. He said they have two videos from two different angles and that he only hit Sal one time. Lawler said it was a worked punch and he didn’t hit him to hurt him. He was watching the match when he saw Sal have an altercation with a fan, in which it looked like Sal had hit a fan. Lawler said he just stepped outside the curtain to “payback Sal” for the fan. He said Sal bumped, rolled off the stage and started overrating. Sal may be in trouble if he can not prove that Lawler hit him more than once. Sal has signed affidavits accusing Lawler of all of this, but he must prove it or there might be charges brought against him. I have been told there were photos taken of Sal’s face and Lawler hit him more than once. Lawler said that yes, he did hit Sal, but it was a worked punch and nothing more than that.
----So, after talking with Lawler I can see where even though he said he hit Sal, he will only admit to throwing a worked punch. If photos were taken that night and proof will be shown that he hit Sal more than once, then Sal has a case. If not, and as I said here before, and we can go by just the video of the event, then Lawler is in the clear.
